Message: [QUOTE="Orangutan, post: 2516778, member: 4946"] The depth issue really does worry me. I expect Louisville to play fast and try to wear out ND. They just have more capable bodies. If we're being honest, Nelson and Patterson would be players 9 and 10 in the rotation, respectively, if Johnson, Vaughn, and Thompson were healthy. Now they've been moved up to 6 and 7. I'm not sure Patterson is ready for such a stage. Nelson has been much better this year but this isn't the game that best suits her due to Louisville's athleticism. They don't play traditional low-post bangers for her to match up on. That being said, just looking at the scores Louisville hasn't been all that dominant so far in conference play. I expect a close game. It may just come down to who has the player with the hot hand. Will it be Durr or Hines-Allen for Louisville? Or will it be Mabrey or Ogunbowale or Shepard for ND? [/QUOTE]
